Paige McIntyre

Paige McIntyre is a virtual tasting host since 2020 and a sommelier at Blueblood Steakhouse in Casa Loma in Toronto. She has been studying wine for the past 5 years and has been mentored by some of Canada’s best palates. She recently had the privilege to be an Apprentice Judge for the Canadian National Wine Awards in 2019. According to Paige wine should be approachable and fun for both the guest and sommelier in order to love, learn, and be immersed in the beverage experience.

She spends her free time wining and dining in Toronto, visiting vineyards in Niagara and Prince Edward County, and sipping on Cru Beaujolais (or bubbly!) with friends.
